Kentucky Makes Extensive Heart Examination Of Children
A total of 40 children have been examined in the month since the opening of the Kentucky Children's Heart Clinic in Louisville, according to Dr. Joseph A. Little, medical director of the clinic. Of these, five have come from outside Louisville.
The new heart clinic, located at the Kentucky Treatment Center on the State Fairgrounds, is sponsored jointly by the Kentucky State Department of Health and the Kentucky Heart Association. It is the only heart clinic in Kentucky at this time for children. The age limit is 15 years.
Dr. Robert Hansen, director of the bureau of Preventive Medical Services, and Dr. Cathryn R. Handelman, director of the Division of Maternal and Child Health, are medical coordinators of the program.
To be admitted to the clinic, a child must be referred by his physician and must have an appointment in advance, Dr. Little said. The physician should write the Division of Heart Disease Control authorizing it to make the appointment for the Thursday afternoon clinics.
The Kentucky Heart Association is furnishing transportation within the city of Louisville and is meeting patients coming from out-of-town by bus or train. Transportation to Louisville is at the patient's own expense.
The purpose of the clinic is for diagnosis of any type of heart disease and for follow-up care of children with rheumatic fever. The Louisville clinic is designed primarily to serve the population of Jefferson and adjoining counties. There is no charge for its services.

GAME SCHEDULED AT PARKWAY FIELD
The fabulous Kansas City Monarchs, first half winners of the Negro American League Pennant, and the Memphis Red Sox, the greatest baseball team ever organized in the South, will play each other in the battle for the second half pennant race, at Parkway Field, on Friday night, [8 P.M.], August 11th. The ticket windows will open at 6:45 P.M.
This truly is one of the greatest baseball attractions ever offered here. The fact that the Monarchs have sold more than $200,000.00 worth of players to the White Major Leagues is proof of the caliber team they have. The players sold include Jackie Robinson, Monte Irvin and Satchel Paige.
HELD TO GRAND JURY FOR SHOOTING MAN
Stanley Piersall, 26, of Uttertown (Fayette County), was held to the grand jury for malicious shooting. He is accused of shooting Travis Hicks, white, 33 Limestone St., Tuesday night on the Winchester Road.

After taking him home Hicks is said to have asked Piersall to pay him a dollar for the ride. Piersall then, according to the story, went into his home, got his rifle, and shot Hicks in the head.
Upon questioning Piersall claimed that he was drunk and that he could not remember what had happened. His bond was set at $1,000.
At the hospital Hicks' conditions is reported as good.
